A massive brawl broke out at a gym in England where two people were hurt according to The Sun. The incident took place at the Ab Salute Gym in Brentwood, in Essex and two videos filmed by gymgoers revealed how dangerous the brawl was. In one video a man is seen hitting another man with a horizontal bar while on the ground. In another video, a man is seen kicking another man and hitting him with a metal bar.

The videos of the fight led to several interesting comments from Twitter users. One person wrote, "I just died laughing and could hear the shovel impact in my head an absolute classic." Another person wrote, "Your in gym training muscles.... but you use the equipment as weapons." Another fan wrote, "Lmao I would never fight in a gym, too many weights.

The fight happened on Nov. 7 but the videos surfaced on Thursday. Ab Salute Gym released a statement about the fight on their Facebook page and announced the men responsible for the fight have been banned.
